The Iraqi Popular Mobilization Units, a coalition of Iranian- and Iraqi-backed militias, are now considering new operations to relove “illegal KDP and ISIS” sieges of the Ezidi people in the Iraqi region of Shingal [Sinjar], according to the group’s official account in Twitter.

The PMU is a state-sponsored umbrella organization composed of over 40 militias (mainly Shia Muslim, Sunni Muslim, Christian and Yazidis).

Considering PMU’s links to Iran which is interested in increasing its influence in the area, the announcemen could be easily described as an escalation of cometition between Iran and Turkey in the area.
